" ROCKING BABY-CARRIAGE.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, FRANK KOPERSKI, a citizen of the United States of America. re-

siding at Bay City, in the county of Bay and 1' State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rocking Baby-Carriages andI do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear; and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled'in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same.

Thls invention relates to a mechanism for rocklng baby carriages, cribs, and the-llke.

It is the object and purpose of this invention to provide a mechanism andconnect it with a crib construction in such manner as to l cause a rocking movement of the crib,- mechanism being of very simple construction and operation. I i

A further object'of'the invention is to apply the same mechanism to a baby carriage and to construct the carriage-so that the body thereof may be elevated above its usual supports and supported inthe same manner as the movable.portion-ofacrib,

the body of the'carriage thereafter'b'eing capable of rocking movement the same as a crib.

V The construction by which these ends are attainedis fully shown inthe accompanying drawings, in which;

Figure 1 is. a side elevationlof a baby car riage with my invention applied thereto. 5

Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 2,2 of Fig. 3. Fig.3 is an elevation of an j attachment connected at each end of the carriage. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the frame of the carriage and illustrating in plan the mechanism for elevating thebody thereof. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the construction shown in Fig. 4:. Fig. 6 is a rear elevation thereof. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the motor casing containing the motor for operating the carriage or cradle. Fig. 8 is an elevation of said'casing; Fig. 9 is a sectional and plan view'on the line 9-9 of Fig. 10,'looking in the direction indicated by the arrows. Fig. 10 is a front elevation of a cradle with the rocking mechanism applied thereto; and Fig. 11 is an end view thereof,
